    New Garmin GPS/Radio combo, pretty cool

    While at the Smoky Mountain Overland Rally this past weekend, I was poking around the other vendors and came across this new Garmin Tread gps/radio combo ($799) In a nut shell, it seems to be a combo of a newer version of an Overlander and a MURS radio (more on that in a minute). The vendor...

    ICECO JP40 external temp test with thermal imagery

    As the owner of a Thermal Imagery Device, I thought this would be a cool little test to see if the JP40 had any funky temperature issues outside of the fridge. Video is about 20 minutes long. In true scientific method, I predicted my hypothesis and was absolutely confused by the end of the...

    Hi all. I'm helping a guy out tomorrow with a radio install. We need to pass an 8 ga wire from his second battery in the engine bay to the inside of the cab where we are mounting a small fuse buss. I don't really want to drill a hole into the firewall although he is not opposed to it. This is...

    25K miles on KO2 before I gave up

    A few years ago I managed a heck of a deal on a set of 5 285/75/R17 KO2 Take offs from a new Wrangler. I originally had KMs on the Jeep and they were very good tires. I put 45K miles on them and they wore very well. 5K mile 5 tire rotation. Just a little gravel wear from FS trails. But I...

    Viair 300P review : Inflation time, current draw, temprature

    Hey all. I'm on a youtubing spree now! I've had this 300P for a few years and thought some of you would like to know how it preforms. I filled up 33 inch tires, checked the current draw off the Jeep battery, and then checked the temprature when finished. Video is 7 1/2 minutes and has the best...

    Which type of coordinates do you use?

    Hey dudes. Got a question for y'all. I'd do a poll, but I'm not sure how to. Anyway, when using either a paper map or GPS, which type of coordinates do you use? In the US, your 2 main options are Lat/Long (which is also the more traditional), Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), or just let the...

    Tagging trailers in a non-required state

    Question for you dudes: Here in Tennessee, as with other states, we are not required to license plate trailers that are single axles and under a certain weight. There are some caveats, but for this question, lets just keep it simple. I have a M416 and use it way more than I thought I would...

    2018 Wranlger JK Unlimited Build (for now)

    Here is a little write up on my 2018 JKU Shara in Gobi. I ordered the Jeep in August of 2017 and have done all mods and work myself with the exception of mounting and balancing the tires. This is hands down the best vehicle I have ever owned and I have owned more than I probably should have. It...

    Why yes, that is a Warn 8274 on a Wrangler JK

    A few years ago, after purchasing my 2018 Shara JK Unlimited, I caught myself in a few spots where a winch could have come in handy. In talking to a few friends, it always came up "too bad you can't mount a 8274 to it". Well, ignorance is bliss. I found a rough condition 8274 on craigslist...
